Pure draughtsmen are philosophers and dialecticians. Colourists are epic poets.

Strangeness is an ingredient necessary in beauty.

Man loves man so much that when he flees the city, it is still to seek the crowd, that is, to rebuild the city in the country.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

There are in every man, alway...

There are in every man, always, two simultaneous allegiances, one to God, the other to Satan. Invocation of God, or Spirituality, is a desire to climb higher; that of Satan, or animality, is delight in descent.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

The idea of beauty which man ...

The idea of beauty which man creates for himself imprints itself on his whole attire, crumples or stiffens his dress, rounds off or squares his gesture, and in the long run even ends by subtly penetrating the very features of his face. Man ends by looking like his ideal self. These engravings can be translated either into beauty or ugliness; in one direction, they become caricatures, in the other, antique statues.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

To be a great man and a saint...

To be a great man and a saint to oneself, that's the only important thing.

From Satan or from God, what ...

From Satan or from God, what matter? Angel or Siren,
What matter, if you make - fairy with velvet eyes,
Rhythm, perfume, light, o my only queen -
The universe less hideous, each moment less strained?

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

Soon we will plunge ourselves...

Soon we will plunge ourselves into cold shadows, and all of summer's stunning afternoons will be gone. I already hear the dead thuds of logs below falling on the cobblestones and the lawn.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

A child sees everything in a sense of newness - he is always drunk. Genius is nothing but childhood re-attained at will.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

I watch the springs, the summers, the autumns; And when comes the winter snow monotonous, I shut all the doors and shutters To build in the night my fairy palace.

All good and genuine draftsmen draw according to the picture inscribed in their minds, and not according to nature.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

Every idea is endowed of itself with immortal life, like a human being. All created form, even that which is created by man, is immortal. For form is independent of matter: molecules do not constitute form.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

Alas! Man's vices, horrible as they are supposed to be, contain the positive proof of his taste for the infinite.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

As a remedy against all ills ...

As a remedy against all ills - poverty, sickness, and melancholy - only one thing is absolutely necessary: a liking for work

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

A precious liquid, a poison dearer than that of the Borgias - because it is made from our blood, our health, our sleep, and two-thirds of our love - we must be stingy with it.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

Genius is nothing more or less than childhood recovered by will, a childhood how equipped for self-expression with an adult's capacities.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

Je sais la douleur est la noblesse unique O u' ne mordront jamais la terre et les enfers. I know that pain is the one nobility upon which Hell itself cannot encroach.

Being a useful man has always seemed to me to be something truly hideous.
